Me and My Shadow Songtext
von Frank Sinatra

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you′ll never get rid of your shadow
Frank, you'll never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we′ve got us

We're closer than pages that stick in a book (me and my shadow)
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Wherever you find him, you′ll find me, just look (strolling down the avenue)
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza me

We′re closer than smog when it clings to L.A. (me and my shadow)
We're closer than Bobby is to J.F.K.
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue


And when it′s sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don′t chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
A happy New Year!

And now to repeat what I said at the start (me and my shadow)
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We′re alone but far from blue

Before we get finished, we'll make the town roar
We'll make all the late spots, and then a few more
We′ll wind up at Jilly′s right after Toot's Shore
Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee! (Here comes the party!)
For my shadow and me, me, me!

Say Frank?
What is it, Sam?
Would you do me a favor?
What do you want now?
Would you mind just taking it one more time?
From the top?
No! From the ending!
Wonderful!


And while we are swinging to mention a few
We′ll drop in at Danny's, The Little Club, too
But wind up at Jilly′s, whatever we do (yeah)
Life is gonna be a we-wow-whee! (Wow!)
For my shadow and me, me, me!

Frank?
Oh, forget it Sam
Alright
